Chapter 107: Same Face
Concubine Rong and the lady in charge returned to the palace, and after freshening up, they came to their dormitory with the freshly boiled bird's nest porridge.
Murong Yao had already returned to his palace at this time, leaving only the emperor alone, with his back to the door of the palace, sitting alone, carefully flipping through the folds while waiting.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, you are still so tired, beware of hurting your eyes!" Concubine Rong is wearing a flowing skirt of pomegranate powder at the moment, with a little fat powder, and she looks more merciful and loving.
When the emperor saw Concubine Rong like this, his eyes were straight, he put down the fold in his hand, and watched Concubine Rong walking towards him with her skirt fluttering, the wrinkles on her face instantly increased, and she smiled, "Why have you been gone for so long?"
Concubine Rong smiled lightly, put the bird's nest porridge in her hand with a soup spoon, lightly opened her lips and blew a breath, and then slowly sent it to the emperor's mouth, and said with a low smile: "The emperor should not blame the concubine, it is really that the ingredients in the small kitchen have run out, and the concubine specially went to the imperial dining room to ask for the bird's nest, who knew that they actually stopped the concubine halfway, saying that they were going to be checked closely, but fortunately, the lady in charge you sent to the concubine relieved the siege for me, otherwise, the concubine would really be searched by those guards!" Concubine Rong said, sitting on the emperor's legs, raised her hand and gently approached the tip of the emperor's nose, and fed the emperor mouthful after mouthful of bird's nest porridge.
The emperor was carried away by joy at the moment, the scarlet clouds on his face, after a few mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, he finally found a vacancy, pushed Concubine Rong's slender jade hand away, looked at her sideways and smiled: "Could it be that you are secretly pretending to be a palace maid again, they can't recognize you, so they mistake you for a little palace maid and ask for a body search!" After the emperor finished speaking, he laughed to himself.
"The emperor still laughed at his concubines, and in the past, he always asked his concubines to pretend to be palace maids, but it was still the emperor!" Concubine Rong said angrily.
Her delicate voice reached the emperor's ears, and immediately turned the previous question into the next unbridled laughter, and the emperor's doubts about Concubine Rong's disappearance in the dormitory for a long time were finally dispelled, and he no longer asked where she went, and refused to return.
And Concubine Rong's heart, although a big stone has landed, but deep in the heart there is a faint place, inexplicable pain, as if to remind himself that the person in front of him is not the person he loves deeply, if he hadn't taken it by force back then, he would not have been to this deep palace for so many years, when he remembered his countless lonely nights in this court, he had never been really happy, Concubine Rong's face was no longer happy.
This night, Concubine Rong was next to the emperor's pillow and completely insomnia. ………
Outside the palace, in the palace of the king.
Early in the morning, Lu Xueyuan and Lou Yi packed their bags, and the two of them said goodbye to King Lou and Princess Lou outside the door, then saluted on their backs and walked out of King Lou's mansion without looking back.
From beginning to end, Lou Yi did not see his mother's face, early in the morning, someone came to pass the word, saying that Princess Lou was unbearable because of heartache, so she didn't see them, just let them say goodbye outside the door, she said that she was afraid that once she saw Lou Yi, she would be reluctant to let them go.
After Lou Yi heard this, he felt guilty for a while, but there was no better way but to silently leave a line of tears. Although the man has tears and does not flick, but in the face of the parting scene of separation from his relatives, even a dignified seven-foot man can't help but feel tender, not to mention that Lou Yi's relationship with his mother is so deep.
Outside Lou Wang's Mansion, Lu Xueyuan looked at Lou Yi's pale face, and said with concern, "It's okay, Ah Yi?"
Lou Yi looked at Lu Xueyuan, smiled and shook his head, just as the two of them entered the carriage, the housekeeper Qingfu suddenly ran out of the palace and said to the carriageway: "Wait! Wait, little master!"
Qingfu ran out of breath and panted.
Lou Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, "What's wrong? Uncle Fu? But what does my mother have to say?"
Qingfu took a few breaths, then came to his senses, nodded at the people inside the curtain, and said, "It's indeed Madame... Madame asked me to tell you to be careful, and to protect yourself as soon as you encounter danger, in addition, the master also asked me to give this thing to you, the little master, saying that it is at a critical moment, and you can use it to save your life!"
Qingfu said, putting it in his hand
The things were taken apart and handed over to Lou Yi.
After Lou Yi took the things, he took a cursory glance, looked up at Qingfu and said, "Thank you, Uncle Fu, please tell my father and mother, saying that I will take care of myself, and I will let the two of us come back safely!"
The coachman drove the carriage away and walked away, Lou Yi said that his voice became quieter and quieter, and he waved his hand towards Qingfu, and then sat down in the carriage again.
Qingfu looked at the carriage leaving, raised his hand and silently wiped his tears, and muttered, "Little master, you must take care! Madame and I will be waiting for you at home!"
As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked in, and happened to run into the young master's personal servant before, and leaned close to him sneeringly, "Butler Qingfu, are you crying and mourning? Why did you cry as soon as the young master left?!"
"Phew! What do you know? I heard that the young master is going to the bitter cold land in the extreme north, where it is cold and snowy, I am worried about the young master, you have no conscience, you don't follow the young master, but you stay at home and don't leave, I think you are a thing to eat inside and out!" The Qingfu housekeeper replied.
"Hey, the conscience of heaven and earth, it was the young master who asked me to serve the master and Mrs. well at home! If you don't believe it, you go and ask the young master!" The little guy also followed Qingfu to the palace as he spoke, and the figures of the two disappeared together with the sound of the creaking door.
At the same time, in the carriage, Lu Xueyuan looked at Lou Yi and lowered his head to carefully look at the things in his hand, and asked out loud, "The extreme north is bitterly cold, the road is far away, and there is snow everywhere, do you regret going with me?"
When Lou Yi heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, "What did you say? A-Yuan! How could I regret coming out with you, I insisted on accompanying you, don't talk nonsense!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to the gadget in his hand.
It was an iron horn ornament, the appearance was quite peculiar, not like the decoration that the northern people would have, but like some kind of nomadic people's logo, Lou Yi couldn't understand it for a while, but since it was given to him by his father, it must have his use, Lou Yi put this thing properly in his gold storage bag, and then raised his hand, looked at the scenery outside the window, looked back at Lu Xueyuan and said: "We are far away, I don't know when we will be able to reach the far north, hey, by the way, Ah Yuan, do you remember, what is the thing we are looking for?"
Lu Xueyuan had a solitary sword in his chest, and he was originally closing his eyes in the bumps of the carriage shaking, but when he was suddenly asked about this at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and replied calmly, "How could you forget? What we are looking for is Buddha, Shadow, and Lotus!"
At this moment, the horse suddenly roared, raised its two front hooves, and almost lifted the whole body to the ground, just as the coachman finally stabilized the frightened horse, Lu Xueyuan was the first to get out of the carriage, and asked with his eyebrows, "What's wrong?!"
The coachman looked at the black mist in front of him and muttered, "The little one, the little one, I don't know what's going on... Suddenly... Suddenly, this blocked the way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist in front of him turned into several human shapes, rapidly approaching the body.
I saw that one of them was dressed in white clothes and wore a high hat, and the other was wearing a black robe with a long iron pestle in his hand, and one of them, like a terrible ghost, grinning at them.
The three of them went directly through the body of the coachman in front of them and approached the landing snow abyss.
The Lone God Sword in Lu Xueyuan's hand let out a long roar at this moment, trembling uncontrollably in her hand, she tightened her eyebrows, and was about to grit her teeth to fight, but suddenly stretched out a pair of hands from behind her.
The hands were white and slender, and he gently opened the curtain of the door, and said to the outside, "Who is it?"
It didn't matter what he said, a cold wind blew just outside the door of the carriage, rolling up the curtain of the carriage a few feet high, revealing Lou Yi's immature but finely carved face.
As soon as his appearance was revealed, he saw the three people outside the door curtain, to be exact, the three ghosts, their faces were more ugly than the other, and they were stunned in place, no one dared to take a step forward, or the eerie and terrifying ghost in the back, stabbed the two ghosts in front of him, one black and one white, grew his mouth, and held back two words for a long time: "Big... My lord
!」
"Wow!"
Then the three demons scattered in all directions, and after screaming, they turned around and fled towards the place they had come from.
Lu Xueyuan was stunned in place, and the Lone God Sword in his hand also stopped shaking at this time.
"Am I that scary?" Lou Yi pointed to his nose and said.
Lu Xueyuan turned his head when he heard the voice, looked at the man in front of him, and replied in a non-thinking tone, "How come? Ah Yi is the most handsome man in the world, how can he be terrifying?" Her eyebrows were smiling, and her tone was slightly frivolous.
"Then why did they see me, as if they had seen the living Hades! They all fled!" Lou Yi furrowed his eyebrows and asked puzzled.
Lu Xueyuan lowered the curtain again and went into the carriage, at this time the coachman had recovered from the fright just now and continued to drive the carriage forward.
In the midst of the bumps, Lu Xueyuan held on to the rickety body, sat down, wiped the Lone God Sword in his hand, and suddenly flashed a person's face in his mind, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "They may just recognize the wrong person!"
"Mistaken? Who else in the world can have the same face as me?" Lou Yi spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
Lu Xueyuan wiped the hand of the Lone God Sword, suddenly paused, turned his head to look out of the window with a little sadness and nostalgia, and said softly, "Who knows?"
